In ammonia, a central nitrogen atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Similarly, boron trifluoride has a central boron atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. However, ammonia is pyramidal and boron trifluoride is trigonal planar in shape. Which statement justifies this difference in
their structure?

A. The lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.

B. The lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.

C. The lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride stabilizes the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.

D. The lone pair of electrons in ammonia increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a pyramidal structure.

E. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen in ammonia decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a
pyramidal structure.

Someone offer some answers to this, i will give 98 coins and mark as brainliest! i will put the rest of the lab down in the comments,solutions pre-lab questions: in this lab, you will make fruit drinks with powdered drink mix. complete the pre-lab questions to get the values you need for your drink solutions. calculate the molar mass of powered fruit drink mix, made from sucrose (c12h22o11).using stoichiometry, determine the mass of powdered drink mix needed to make a 1.0 m solution of 100 ml. (hint: use molarity = to find the moles of drink mix, then convert moles to grams using a mole conversion.)what mass of powdered drink mix is needed to make a 0.5 m solution of 100 ml?
